Animal India - Parawixia Dehaani Spider

Parawixia dehaani is a species of orb-weaver spider that belongs to the family Araneidae and is distributed in the Oriental-Australian region including Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea. Parawixia dehaani is nocturnal and feeds mainly on moths. During the day the spider shelters under a leaf in the vegetation. This common garden spider builds a vertical orb web with an open hub, which often looks damaged, with sections missing, hence the Australian common name, abandoned-web orb-weaver. When disturbed the spider falls to the ground and plays dead with its legs retracted. Bats have been recorded as being captured by this spider.
